Periodic Structures

<p><b><i>Provides readers an understanding of the basic physics underlying meta-materials, providing a powerful tool for analyzing their electromagnetic properties</i></b></p> <p><i>Periodic Structures: Mode-Matching Approach and Applications in Electromagnetic Engineering</i> presents the scattering and guiding characteristics of periodic structures using the mode-matching approach and their applications in electromagnetic engineering. The book is structured so that the first three chapters provide an introduction and prepare the reader for chapters 4 to 6, which expand the formulations to electromagnetic and optical structures applicable to practical device applications. The last chapters cover very recent research topics in electromagnetics and optics.</p> <ul> <li>Provides an analytic approach to describing the operation of photonic crystals and related periodic structures</li> <li>Covers guided and leaky mode propagation in periodic surroundings, from fundamentals to practical device applications </li> <li>Demostrates formulation of the periodic system and applications to practical electromagnetic / optical devices, even further to metamaterials</li> <li>Introduces the evolution of periodic structures and their applications in microwave, millimeter wave and THz.</li> <li>Written by a high-impact author in electromagnetics and optics</li> <li>Contains mathematical derivations which can be applied directly to MATLAB programs</li> </ul> Ideal for Graduate students and advanced undergraduates in electronic engineering, optics, physics, and applied physics, or researchers working with periodic structures
